Sans sous-estimer les immenses possibilités offertes par l'aile « delta » et, principalement, les avantages qu'offre sa structure très simple, en ce qui concerne sa fabrication et sa fixation sur les cellules, il semble que la technique française s'oriente vers l'aile en « queue d'hirondelle ». Aile en flèche, certes, mais moins géométriquement triangulée que l'aile «delta». D'autre part, il semble essentiel aux techniciens français de conserver l'empennage arrière. L'avion à aile en queue d'hirondelle ne sera donc pas un avion sans queue comme certains avions anglais actuels. 3, record 1, French, - aile%20en%20queue%20d%27hirondelle

Lockheed's basic concept involves an arrow-winged aircraft, to carry 290 passengers at Mach 2.5; Boeing is considering a blended-body delta-wing configuration, capable of flying at M 2.4 with a 270-passenger load, while McDonnell Douglas is also proposing an arrow-winged aircraft, operating (like Concorde) at Mach 2.2, but with a 225-300 passenger load. 1, record 2, English, - arrow%2Dwinged%20aircraft
